Autotheory: An Autoethnographic Reading of Foucault

Jodi Kaufmann

University of Georgia

In this article, the author plays with the dialectical relationship between theory and autobiography. Interrupting her theoretical interpretation of Foucault’s understanding of the body and subject with autoethnographic pieces that function as illustrations and/or counterpoints to her summary of his theories, the author suggests there is no "right" understanding and use of theory but only autotheoretical interpretations.

Key Words: Foucault • body/subject • autobiography • autoethnography • poststructural methods
